ROLE OF MEDIA

A PROJECT BY : AHMED, MAHAD, MINAAL & MOMINA

GRADE 5, NEWTON
 WHAT IS A ROLE OF MEDIA?

• The word ‘media’ is derived from the word medium, signifying mode or carrier. Media is
intended to reach and address a large target group or audience. The word was first used in
respect of books and newspapers i.e. print media and with the advent of technology, media
now encompasses television, movies, radio and internet. In today’s world, media becomes as
essential as our daily needs. Media of today is playing an outstanding role in creating and
shaping of public opinion and strengthening of society.
ESENTIAL QUESTION FOR OUR PROJECT
Media has great influence over public life. Can deteriorated information by media can mislead
the people? Prove with examples.
 HOW MEDIA IS MISLEADING THE PEOPLE?

• Media is the sword arm of democracy. Media acts as watchdog to protect public interest against
malpractice and create public awareness. Today when politicians are taking full advantage of their
positions, an evil nexus of mafia and crime syndicate is making the life of the common man miserable,
taxpayer’s money is siphoned out for the personal gain of the influential and ordinary people are a mere
spectator-media has a grater responsibility As the fourth pillar of democracy along with judiciary,
executive and legislature, media of today has an all embracing role to act against the injustice,
oppression, misdeeds and partiality of our society.
 IMPACT OF MISLEADING MEDIA?

• Misleading media is one of the major problems in many countries which had been discussed by many
people to try and decide what are the reasons and the effects of this enormous problem on the society.
No one can deny that the media contributes to the formation of the ideas of the nation, and this helps
to improve the country and urges the nation to progress and develop, or it can lead to either corruption,
misleading and wash brain which destroys the country’s rules and makes youth and people un aware
from the truth. Misleading media has many causes as the absence of ethics, governmental rules on
freedom of media and power distribution which has many effects like corruption, money laundry,
unawareness and ignorance.
 ONE OF THE PAKISTANI CASE WHICH WAS FIRST
REPORTED FALSE AND THEN REALITY WAS
EXPOSED.

• We have brought you the latest case which media actually mis- leaded the people. It was said that there
was the group of terrorists that shot dead four people, including two women but then they came to
know they weren’t terrorists unfortunately they were our own CTD (Counter Terrorists Dept.) officials
who shot dead these innocent civilians.
